So these two aren't really cuddly pigs, but they've both been unwell recently, giving an opportunity for photos!

Big Dave has been very good for the vets

He's been very good at taking his medicine, and seems to think that critical care is a yummy treat!

Maggie may have a snotty nose, but it still works...

And finds exactly what she wants! Food, glorious food!

Broccoli is just too tasty to ignore

Big Dave is on two types of antibiotics, Maggie has been on three types, so that means they also need probiotics and they've been having extra vitamin C too. This is usually offered in some fruity baby food, as a little bit of a peace offering! It goes down well and they're eager to get to the syringe! Sometimes a little too eager...

TGPF-ers, meet Mr Dribbley-Chops

He's generally around 1.2kg. Approx. 12 months ago, he was 1.8kg (hence the name!) but lost a lot of weight suddenly, going down to between 1.1-1.2kg. Numerous tests and a decrease in my £££s yeilded nothing - he's not been unwell or lost any weight since ?/
